mryellow,

first of all, there are a shitload of apps that can capture videos from the screen, including windows media player. The IVideoScreen interface, which 99% of the new video players including media player use, is hardware accelerated. That is why you can not capture it with a normal screen capture. To use normal screen capture on it you need to turn off hardware acceleration in your VIDEO settings.

A possible way to crack DRM, but I have not tried it yet, is to get a valid license and play the file using that license with your own written player, whcih instead of sending the video/audio samples to a video display, would send them back to a compressor. You might lose a LITTLE bit of quality, but normally WM is very good at recompression.
